We dedicate this book to our offspring; Alan’s grandchildren Brendan and Rory Stones; Ken’s children Nathan, Colin and Peter Able; Steve’s children Lucy, Gail and Helen Blaber; and Mike’s grandchildren Olly, Dylan and Mycah Elliott. We sincerely hope that they will be able to enjoy well‐conserved estuaries and fish stocks, and that the number of healthy systems with an abundance and rich diversity of fish will continue to grow in the decades to come.
